I work in web design, and at our company, all file transfers happen over SFTP. After switching to GhostBSD XFCE Edition, here’s how I set up Thunar to handle SFTP.
1) Install gvfs for SFTP support:
sudo pkg install gvfs
2) Open Thunar and type the SFTP address in this format in the location bar:
sftp://ipaddress
3) Then, enter your username and password when prompted.
Note: For this to work, the remote server must have OpenSSH server installed and running to accept SFTP connections.
